IIRC when the TLM was started, it was named after Luffy because he embodied a lot of the spirit that long-suffering fans believed in - keep trying no matter what, don't take no for an answer, you may not be the most skilled bloke on the field, but the guts are always there. etc etc. It was deliberately named after a player who wasn't going to adorn the record books or who would be remembered as a legend of the game in the wider sense, but rather someone who meant something more to us long-suffering fans, and you have to admit, most people have had a pretty big soft spot for Luffy! ...
Wonderfully put SR4E.
If, and it is a really big IF, you wanted to change it surely it would have to be the Stuey Maxfield Medal before the BKM.
